This is a fairly easy question. Just use the Pythagorean Theorem:

Leg squared + Leg squared = Hypotenuse squared.

In symbols: L² + L² = H²

So if you want to find out if a triangle is a right triangle, just plug in the numbers:

12² + 35² = 37²?

144 + 1225 = 1369?

1369 = 1369, so yes, the lengths of 12 cm, 35 cm, and 37 cm could be the lengths of a right triangle.

Hope I answered your question!
